WormBase description:twk-6 encodes one of 44 C.
elegans TWK (two-P domain K+) potassium channel
subunits that contain two pore-forming domains and four
transmembrane domains; as loss of TWK-6 function via
RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) does not result in any
abnormalities, the precise role of TWK-6 in C. elegans
development and/or behavior is not yet known; TWK-6
may, however, function redundantly with other TWK
channels; TWK-6 is expressed in the hypodermis.
